We reviewed Sandwich Farm's breakfast to see if it was as good as its shuttered sister restaurant 3 Skillets' and here's what we found out

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- In 2009, NBC moved "The Tonight Show" from 10:30 p.m. central to 9 p.m. From the mid-70s to the mid-80s, Gibson Guitars shifted production of its legendary instruments from Kalamazoo, Mich. to Nashville, and in 1977 Rolling Stone magazine uprooted its headquarters from San Francisco to New York.

Each of these famous relocations produced some dubious results. But a transplanted Huntsville breakfast menu has pulled it off.

Farm-to-table-minded cafe 3 Skillets closed in November and moved its excellent morning offerings to sister restaurant Sandwich Farm. And while you may miss the al fresco dining that was so enjoyable at 3 Skillets' downtown square digs, the Sandwich Farm breakfast is pretty much a dead ringer for the fresh, creative and tasty fare served at the shuttered venture.

Like 3 Skillets did, Sandwich Farm operates out of a small space – in this case the same downtown-outskirts retail center as Lone Goose Saloon. If you've ever tried Sandwich Farm's eclectic lunch/dinner menu you're familiar with the eatery's memorable diagram-driven menu board, barn-red interior and "Animal Farm" tribute wall-inscription: "All sandwiches are created equal. Some sandwiches are more equal than others."

We arrived at 8:15 a.m. on a Friday. There was one other table occupied. Our friendly, bespectacled server took our party of four's orders, as surf-guitar and indie-rock instrumentals wafted overhead on the sound system. The server kept on top of drink refills as we waited. Which we would do for the next 18 minutes. Luckily when the food did come out, almost all of it was awesome.

I ordered the 3-Egg Omelette ($6.75, choice of biscuit, homefries or toast, $7.25 substitute egg white omelet) with feta cheese, mushrooms and sausage. This was my go-to order at 3 Skillets and Sandwich Farm's version has it down cold. Like at 3 Skillets, Sandwich Farm grinds their own sausage, so it's fresh, zesty and funky in a wonderful way. And feta and 'shrooms are devastatingly complementary ingredients, melding for an earthy, melt-y texture and vibe. The omelet itself was the perfect size. Large enough you are satisfied but not so elephantine it's impossible to eat in one serving unless you are the mechanical shark used in the 1975 film "Jaws." And leftover eggs are gross.

We also tried the Pancakes ($5.50 buttermilk), still steaming when they hit the table. You can add bacon, banana or chocolate chips for a buck and we opted for the latter. The four fluffy pancakes are served with citrus butter syrup. Have you ever had one of those chocolate oranges sold around the holidays? The citrus syrup and chocolate chip pancakes evoked those kind of flavors, a fantastic tandem. An a la carte order of bacon ($2.25 for three strips) was appropriately crunchy without being napalmed.

Sandwich Farm's breakfast menu Burrito ($6.75) contains some seriously fresh-tasting salsa. We actually wished there was a bit more in there, and when combined with the dish's cilantro sour cream the salsa combined for appealing Tex-Mex vibes while still feeling like breakfast. The Burrito also housed scrambled eggs and homefries. Next time we'd probably ask them to add bacon for a little more crunch.

We also gave Breakfast Plate #1 ($6.00) a whirl. The ample combo boasts two eggs (ours were scrambled, fluffy and well-cooked), two strips of bacon or sausage (we choose that wonderful aforementioned housemade sausage, which has a doable level of kick) served with biscuit, homefries or toast (we chose biscuit and added a side of homefries for $1.75). The biscuit was heavenly, like a baked angel. Fluffy and slightly toasted, imparting pleasing subtle crunch.

The coffee ($1.75) we ordered was an accessible medium-roast style. The homefries sides were the lone downer of our meal - mine were so overcooked it was difficult to penetrate them with a fork. And as artisan an approach Sandwich Farm takes with so much of its food, it would be cool if they served their breakfast with some homemade jam and jelly instead of the plastic-packaged kind you see about anywhere.

But for those who pine for that bygone, killer 3 Skillets breakfast, it's here at Sandwich Farm waiting for you.
